He's playing. I'm watching the game and I feel your pain. 
Might be a good point. Maybe I will shop for him this off-season.

His average with Tubbs is 8.2, without 7.4. So it's true he has regressed w/o Tubbs, but 8.2 is LB19, far below what I was drafted for.

A better set of DTs would be nice. Hopefully it's just a bit of a sophomore slump given Tatupu's relatively solid football IQ, but his tackling has been horrid over the past two months. In the two games I've seen in that time, there've been too many missed arm tackles and not wrapping up to finish a play. Same with the rest of the Seahawk defense.
Still, his 72 solo tackles project to 88 on the year (which is better than last season's 86). And the Seahawks have faced essentially the same number of rushing attempts per game (26.8 in 2006 vs 26.2 last season). His big play production looks to be the primary difference; Tatupu is minus four sacks and two picks in comparison to 2005. Much of that big play production is likely traceable to the Seahawks 281 PF to 290 PA in 2006 vs 452-271 in 2005.
I see Tatupu as a reasonable buy low candidate too. If you can get him low. There is a huge tier of low LB1 through LB2 types right now. But based on what I've seen, Tatupu could've made the usual second year jump in tackles had he been more fundamentally sound. And if the Seahawk offense is healthy in 2007, Tatupu could regain some of his 2005 big play value.
